time of the year

I did start over with my yuletide writing, which is to say, I picked up a pinch hit. Pinch hit is now done and off with beta, and once again I'm left thinking, but don't I usually write stuff at this time of year ( Read more... )

yuletide, loveless

This is not Abe no Seimei though, right? Or a reincarnation, who might not realize he's no longer in Heian Japan, and that phones are an option? *g* (I don't know much about Loveless, but Onmyouji is the good crack. If you don't know it, I will be sorely tempted to point you towards stuff...)

And congratulations on stretching your writing muscles again. :-)

Hee! No, Aoyagi Seimei is pretty much contemporary. Also, creepy. omg yes. I'm not sure I'd rec Loveless back at you, though it has a certain charm (and nice art). The contents are disturbing on several levels.

Disturbing, huh? Oh, is it that shonen-ai manga about a photographer whop gets kidnapped by various guys? I seem to have a vague memory ( ... )

Those are really splendid sets and costumes. *admires* I'll keep that in mind for the next time I sit around muttering that there's nothing that interests me and my life is so sad. I seem to be at a point right now, though, where actual people, as opposed to manga and anime characters, all look a little strange to me. But experience tells me that this will pass, so. ;)

That thing with the photographer sounds... yeah, disturbing. And no, that's not Loveless; that's about a 12yo boy who has a difficult enough life already, when this 20yo guy turns up and says hey, so, I'm your fighter and you're my sacrifice, and then battle challenges pop up from everywhere, and... Okay, I have trouble describing it. It's very pretty, and everyone's screwed up to some degree. I like the manga better than the anime (then again, that's true of very nearly every title I can think of).

You are just lying in wait for openings, aren't you? ;) But seriously, no, I can't, because I'm leaving my computer behind in a couple of days' time, and I have to get some stuff done before I go. Those boys will just have to sparkle without me! (They do still sparkle, right? *G*)

It's a hobby :-)

They do indeed!

You know, 2011 will be the 10th anniversary of the first ever popslash SeSa. Plenty of time before then to brush up on your canon...
